Chapter 59: Grasshoppers after Autumn (Thanks Collection 1)
"The Emperor, by order of Heaven, proclaims that, effective immediately, the position and title of Concubine Zhen shall be restored, and a great many gold, silver, and precious objects shall be bestowed upon her. I hereby declare."
After the eunuch announced his decree, Emperor Yuan came to the Yongning Palace.
There was a smile on their faces.
Zheng Heluo has been doing good things these days, especially some of the messy things that happened before, which were all handled in an orderly manner.
Including but not limited to embezzlement of food and salary, forming cliques for personal gain.
This matter is naturally the business of the Ye family, the Wang family and the Liu family.
This happened at about the same time as the Yun family's previous expedition.
If Yun Zhuan hadn't discovered it, Emperor Yuan would have known that he would wipe out the Yun family after they returned from their military exploits.
How great it is to have the best of both worlds!
Not only did he solve the problem of the overly prestigious family in the army, but he was also able to face his own suspicion calmly and not let other officials feel disheartened by this matter.
At least on the surface.
But it is no longer possible now. Emperor Yuan does use any means to achieve his goal, but he will not take human life lightly.
Moreover, the battle in Mobei is not so easy to accomplish.
He still needs to wait and see the overall situation to see if the Yun family can make any more contributions to the Yuan family.
It is not his style to kill someone who has achieved great success and threatens his master.
It's not that he didn't know what the Shen family did behind his back, but he chose to turn a blind eye. If it were true, the entire court would be filled with corruption.
As an emperor, Emperor Yuan saw these objective facts very clearly.
So they killed each other, and the Shen family's cleverness backfired, and he was happy to see it happen.
Moreover, he was the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and when it came to doing things, he was even better than the Minister of Justice.
There was no title to be conferred, but Emperor Yuan did not mind promoting his sister, Concubine Zheng, to a higher position.
Moreover, regarding what happened before, although it is true that Concubine Zhen was wrong.
After all, I have spoiled her for many years.
Besides, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice has never formed a clique for personal gain in the palace, and now he only has this one sister, so it wouldn't hurt to love her more.
That night, Emperor Yuan, who was busy with government affairs, stayed in the Yongning Palace.
Everyone in the He Palace knows about it.
Concubine Zhen was restored to favor.
When he learned about this, Yun Zhuan was playing chess.
There was no sign of surprise on her face. Instead, she calmly placed the white piece in the middle of the fight between the two sides.
The originally weak white chess pieces suddenly thrived and conquered the whole country.
The black pieces, on the contrary, became weaker and were soon surrounded and devoured by the white pieces.
There is no power to turn back.
Yun Jue looked at it calmly and said calmly, "But the grasshoppers have stopped growing in autumn. How many days can they move?"
There were many people complaining in the palace, but the two noble concubines and other imperial concubines were just watching, not to mention the concubines and beauties below them.
Many people hold grudges in their hearts.
Concubine Su knew how to conserve her energy and save her strength, and Yun Zhuan had never heard her raise any objection.
This will definitely make Emperor Yuan feel more guilty and compassionate.
If I'm not mistaken, the investigation into the previous batch of events must have been completed.
But what if things turned around?
Can we tear off the mask of Emperor Yuan and force him to come forward to fight against it?
Yun Zhuan stood up, touched the flowers in the flowerpot, and trimmed the extra plants and flowers, muttering to himself:
"There's no need to create any more complications..."
Living alone, watching silently.
Banban has already collected enough evidence outside the palace about the dealings between the Zheng and Shen families, paying special attention to the omissions in the files that the Zheng family had integrated over the years of investigating the case.
The young lady was not in a hurry to get rid of the Shen family immediately, but instead observed the Zheng family first.
Only by defeating them one by one can we prevent them from having any chance to turn around.
Yun Zhuan lowered his eyes and put down the scissors.
Since he was so attached to his deceased wife, she didn't mind giving him a ride.
For the sake of glory, the Shen family did not hesitate to betray Shen Jue and let her abuse him. Although he said that he was stupid and foolish in the past, Shen Jue really did not like him.
It's unlikely that he only did it once in Xishan Temple, otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have gotten the chance to wake up naturally.
He just wanted to take over the power of the Yun family so that he could have the capital to negotiate with Emperor Yuan about the Shen family entering the inner cabinet.
Today, the Inner Cabinet is considered to be the confidant of Emperor Yuan and is controlled by him. On weekdays, they supervise the emperor and manage state affairs.
The control is strict. Without strength, background and the determination to be a loyal minister to the emperor, one will never be able to enter the cabinet.
The Shen family has been crawling at this stage for too long, and Yun Zhuan even feels that he has underestimated the Shen family's determination to rise to power.
So he found a way to find a distant girl from the Shen family who looked 80% like Madam Zheng, and gave her to Zheng Heluo as a concubine.
After the last incident, the Wang and Liu families usually stayed indoors except for official business. In about five years, they would resign and retire.
This incident has left a criminal record in Emperor Yuan's mind.
My career has come to an end, so I might as well just work for a few more years.
The eldest brother of the Wang family truly loves his younger brother. It has been a long time since the Wang family has had any involvement in the court.
Yun Ju'an relied on his softness, and had to admit that the Shen family did have some means.
It's not worthy of being on stage.
"Miss." Lu'e came back from outside and whispered, "The Royal Concubine said that she has found some evidence, but there are still some things that she needs your help with."
Children are playful and can always come up with some useful ideas, so Concubine Su specially asked someone to pass the note over.
Concubine Zhen is now favored by the emperor again, but Concubine Su Gui doesn't care at all. After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Concubine Zhen is not as wary as before.
"Miss Luo would come to Yongning Palace from time to time..." Duhuo said softly, "I heard that she is most afraid of ghosts..."
The fragrance of orchids in the hall gradually dissipated.
"What kind of incense do you think Concubine Zhen likes to burn the most?" Yun Zhuan stared at the incense burner, the smoke was very thin and light.
Duhuo said seriously: "I will check it out now."
"Well, don't burn incense in the temple these two days." Yun Yu'an stood up and walked towards the yard.
The spring crabapples have all fallen, along with the peach blossoms, but the yard is still lingering with a faint fragrance.
She inexplicably thought of countless rainy nights.
The most refreshing Du Hengxiang made Yun Ju'an's eyes dull and his mind empty.
But Du Heng is poisonous.
The Yun family has been able to get away with it, and it is not their turn to take the blame.
No matter how much Emperor Yuan wanted to make a show of force, he had to consider the status of the Yun family in the eyes of the people of Yuan.
"Miss, do you want to go out for a walk?" Lu'e said softly.
This phoenix-laying instrument is not big, but it looks empty.
The palace maids who served in sweeping and cleaning knew the preferences of their mistress, You Feng Lai Yi, and usually would not appear in front of You Feng Lai Yi after they had finished cleaning.
Yun Zhuan hated having outsiders present.
"Miss, where is your jade that was blessed in Daxiangguo Temple?" Lu'e stared at it for a while and felt that it was a little different. "That was the piece that the Marquis asked for you when you were born..."
Yun Zhuan touched his waist and his heart sank.
